Abstract

An electrosurgical electrode member for performing operative procedures includes a conducting electrode having a main body (22') configured to communicate radio-frequency electrical energy to patient tissue.
The main body has a sharpened portion (23'), such as an elongated edge or point, with a width of approximately 0.2 millimeters or less. The sharpened portion concentrates the radio-frequency electrical energy transferred from the main body to the patient tissue. In one embodiment, a non-stick insulating coating (20') covers the main body of the electrode including the sharpened portion. The insulating coating has a thickness to permit transmission of the radio-frequency electrical energy from the main body to the patient tissue by capacitive coupling. In an alternative embodiment, an operative portion of the sharpened portion extends outwardly from beneath the insulating coating.
